Customer Reviews
We tried Ay Papa Qué Rico and honestly, it was really good. We ordered the whole charcoal-grilled chicken, congri, yuca, a salad, and a jugo de maracuyá. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. The charbroiled chicken is definitely the star — juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly over charcoal. The congri and yuca were solid comfort sides, and the passion fruit juice was refreshing and not overly sweet. For about $65, two of us ate well and still had leftovers to take home — easily enough food for three people. The vibe is casual and relaxed. It feels like a neighborhood comfort spot with a mix of Cuban, Salvadorian, Guatemalan, and Mexican influences. It’s centered around the charbroiled chicken, but you can tell there’s a little bit of everything on the menu. If I had to describe i
Ay Papa Que Rico is a fantastic Cuban inspired charbroiled chicken restaurant. Had a craving for Cuban food after a recent rewatch of the movie, Chef. Stopped here for the first time and had to try the chicken based on the delicious smell as well as a Cubano. Both were mouthwatering. The chicken was perfect and the black beans and yellow rice I got with it were great. The Cubano was near perfection. I look forward to coming back and trying more of the menu
Very tasty food, good service, I recommend it to everyone. There is parking
I've been coming to this place on and off for years, and their food has been okay. Just okay to be honest. Their meat is a little dry, whether you're getting the pork or the beef I haven't tried their chicken yet so I can't speak on that just yet. I stopped coming to this place for a few years because they burn to the beef ribs so bad it was literally charcoal. But the main reason I'm writing this review today is because their customer service was pretty bad. This lady at the cashier was incredibly rude to me when I pointed out to her that I wrote on a note that I just wanted white rice for my size that I did not want the beans or the yellow rice. And she literally rolled her eyes at me and muttered under her breath, "Oh my God". I was appalled and I was getting ready to yell at her abo
Know for their chicken but I eat mostly veggies right now. The veggie wrap with spanish rice was okay. Definitely could be better but overall service was amazing and their pastries & ice cream looked incredible. Next time will try that. My friend had the chicken plate and loved it. They have a lot of sitting space and great art.
